Jaxson Hayes and Bol Bol are my 2 pipedream pivks for big men. My realistic choices that I would like for us are Nic Claxton, Daniel Gafford, or Bruno Fernando.
I am cool with him in latter round though if he don’t cut the dreads SHAQ going to be calling him RuPaul.

I'm liking the idea of him playing point forward, ala Bobo or Draymond Green. Sounds like he has a high ceiling, and with continued strengthening, bulking up and working on his jump shot, if the Spurs were to pick him at 29, he could be another steal! Keeping my fingers crossed on this one! GSG!!!

The more I think about Claxton, the more I can get on board with him at 29. I think he has poor, poor man’s Anthony Davis written all over him. I’d like to see what we could do with him.
Definetly my top choice. Even at 19.
That kind of skillset in a big is rare.
Let's get Claxton and get a SF with the 29th...
Speedy!! Speedy!!
The thing is, it's only intermittent. If he could play like that all the time, coupled with his size and athleticism, he's be a top 3 pick.
If his inconsistency is his first-to-come-to-mind flaw, thats a good problem.
Intermittent is less than inconsistent. If he were just inconsistent, he'd probably go in the lottery.
IMO, 19 is a bit of a reach for Claxton in this draft. So many good center prospects are dropping that you can probably wait and get him or someone similar (Kabengele, Fernando, Gafford, maybe even Goga) at 29.
He'd be a steal in the 2nd round. Wouldn't be mad if we take him with 29 either. One of the best bigs in this draft if you ask me
I think this young man and Samanic are kind of similar and it isnt a coincidence the Spurs are looking at both. I think if we miss out on or want to use the 19th on somebody else besides Luka maybe Claxton will be their at 29. This draft is going to be super interesting overall.
I know this is a bit out there, but I would consider trading up for this guy. A point-center with touch? Yes please
If he were that, he'd be a top 5 projected pick.
Today, it looks like SI has moved Claxton up to 19 and TheAthletic has him up to 21. Bill Simmons is also on the bandwagon. Might have to actually go for Claxton at 19 if that's you're guy.
Great interview. Came across as intelligent, articulate.
I say let's do it!!
After looking again at the combine info Luka is actually more athletic on most of the test but Claxton has a better wingspan. Luka shot better from the line and 3 also
Take him at 19
Im warming up to this guy.
All tall forwards who can guard big and small. I like it.
1. Samanic
2. Bazley
3. Claxton
4. Roby
5. PJ Washington
Cosign!!
Just watched that video linked and there were some really great things on film. Particularly that last 30 seconds. When he gets the ball, pushes it forward to break the press and delivers a bullet on the move to his right. Then, that defensive possession where he is moving all around chasing the guard and pokes the ball away.
Lot to like there.
He reminds me of what everyone wants Brandon Ingram to be. I see some Giannis in his game too how he brings the ball up the court. He comes off as someone who will work on his game and be serious at it. So much potential here. I’d love him at 19. He’s exactly the type of player this teams needs. Murray/White/Walker/Claxton..that folks, is a great start for a rebuild.
